To all whom 2125 may concern.-

Be it known that I, LoUrs RUDEMANN, gentleman, of Rue Paradis,'Paris,France, have invented a certain new and useful Distribution of Liquidsand I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The present invention relates to a distributer of liquids in portionsadapted for apparatus serving for the production of an intimate mixtureof air'and hydrocarbon vapors.

The invention is represented in detail on the accompanying drawings. n

igure 1 is anv elevation of the whole, showing the new distributerapplied` to an apparatus for producing the mixture. Figs. 2 and 3 Arepresent a portion of the apparatus in detail in longitudinal andlateral elevation, respectively.

The portioning contrivance consists of a reservoir b, which can be madeto communicate directly by a'mouth ieee 1 and a tube 2 with the lowerportion o a tank or barrel 3, containing the hydrocarbon Huid asLpurchased.

On the two shafts 4 and 5, carried by the walls of the reservoir b, aremounted two pitch or chain wheels 6 and 7. The shaft 5 is operated byenergy transmitted from any suitable source. The wheels 6 and 7 areconnected by a chain carrying buckets 9 on'some of its links. Betweenthe side walls of the reservoir l) is mounted a small vessel l0, into vwhich the buckets empty their contents during the first part of theirdescent. On one of the sides of the wheel 7 arms 11 are fixed, eachcarrying a small bucket` 12. During the movement of the wheel 7 thebuckets 12 are plunged into the small vessel 10, become filled withliquid, and then empty their contents into the funnel 13, which isconnected by the pipe 14 to the carbureter.

y he advantages of this apparatus are the following: The barrel ofhydrocarbonfiuid 3 can be placed at any distance from the apparatus Z)and at any level. The chain of the apparatus may apparatus itself.Neither the decanting or ling or any other manipulation of thehydrocarbon is required. In short, it is only necessary to fill thereservoir b and establish communication by means of the tube 2 with thetank or barrel as purchased, and in this way the causes of fire whichoccur throu h the negligence of the person who has to fgill the aplaratus are thus avoided.

claim` A portioning-distributer'of liquids, comprising a reservoir,means for connecting the lower part with the source of supply, a lowerand upper shaft carried by said reservoir, a Wheel carried by eachshaft, carried by said wheels, buckets carried by said chain, a tank inthe upper part of said reservoir ad'acent the upper wheel and into whichthe buckets empty their contents,

be any length and also the I arms projecting from the upper wheel, buckyLouis GARDET, HANsoN C. CoxE.
